What goes on in your mouth can have a considerable effect on your overall health. The human body’s millions of amazing components work together to help it perform at its peak. It’s all interconnected.

“To err is human,” wrote poet Alexander Pope 400 years ago. And it’s still true today. We all make mistakes, and we can only hope to learn from them. Your dentist at Hackensack Dentist understands that no matter how hard each of us tries to do our best to maintain perfect oral hygiene, we’re only human.

I’d like to list some of the most common mistakes our patients make and tell you how to correct them.

Drinking problems: Soda, energy drinks, sweetened coffee and even fruit juices leave a sugary, cavity causing residue on your teeth. Water, especially if it contains fluoride, that enamel-building mineral, is your best bet.

Halloween is becoming more popular every year, especially among children who get to dress up, carve pumpkins and enjoy haunted houses and hayrides. Of course, it’s also a holiday replete with tempting treats. Kids consume an average of 7,000 calories, or three cups of sugar, according to The Economic Times.

Our friendly family dentist at Hackensack Dentist wants parents to know that there are strategies for letting your children enjoy the festivities while protecting them from tooth decay in the aftermath.

Following an excellent oral healthcare routine is always beneficial. But going overboard—being too excellent—is not beneficial. It’s possible to brush to the point where you harm your teeth and gums. 

People seeking exceptional quality dental care needn’t look further than the office of Hackensack Dentist. We provide a comprehensive range of advanced dental services—from the essentials in preventive care to the foremost emergency, restorative and cosmetic treatments.
